My Year Abroad
This month in Travelers Corner read about three people’s experiences in year-abroad programs:
Mariko Okada —Japan
My year abroad in the United States was a truly wonderful experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone, so I got lots of speaking practice.

C【2015宁夏】
As a child, Alain Robert was afraid of heights. One day, when he was 12, he returned home from school. At the front door of his building, he looked for his keys. He didn’t have them. It was 3:30 and his parents worked until 6:00 pm. Alain looked at his apartment (公寓) on the eighth floor. He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes, he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of heights was gone.
Today, Alain still climbs buildings. In 2003, he climbed a building in London dressed as Spiderman (蜘蛛人) to advertise the movie. In 2004, he climbed Taipei 101 (one of the tallest buildings in the world). To reach the top of a building, Alain uses only his hands and special shoes. He has no rope or other safety tools.
Alain climbs as a hobby. He also does it to make money for charity (for poor children and the homeless). When he climbs, he wants to send a message to people. If you have a dream —something you really want to do —it can become real. But you must be brave and keep trying. If something bad happens, don’t give up. Close your eyes and tell yourself, “I can do it.”
56. The main idea of this passage is ______.

The Sahara Desert in North Africa is one of the largest and hottest deserts in the world. In the summer the temperature during the day often reaches 40℃. The highest temperature ever was 58℃! It seldom rains in the Sahara, but there are storms —sand storms!
The Sahara Desert is a very difficult place for humans to live. Only a few plants are able to grow in the dry climate (气候). But there are many oases. An oasis is a place where plants and trees can grow because there is water. There are about 90 large oases in the Sahara, where people have built villages. Some animals are able to live in the desert too. The most famous desert
animals are, of course, camels. They can live for many days without food or water.

Antarctica is a continent (洲) which is under almost 2 kilometers of ice. The South Pole is in Antarctica and is the most southern place on Earth. It is always very cold. In the winter the temperature falls to -80℃! People have never lived there for long because it is too cold. There are scientists, but they only stay for a few months.

Today I went for a pleasant outing with my friends. The aim place we went to was Li Lake, which was about ten kilometers away from my home. We rode our bikes at 9:00 in the morning. One hour later, we got there. We went boating in the lake first, and then we went fishing by the lake. The fish in the lake are big and fresh. They are all our meals at noon. In the afternoon, we went swimming in a swimming pool beside the lake. We felt relaxed and comfortable in the water. At 5:30 in the afternoon, we returned together.
We all had a good time for our outing.
